[100-yen shop] Aluminum Plate & Sticker Nameplate

I tried making a door plate using items from the 100-yen shop! [100-yen DIY]

A simple nameplate made by sticking decals onto an aluminum sheet—the way it reflects light looks stylish, doesn’t it? The method is simple too: cut the aluminum sheet to your desired size, then apply the letter decals.

If the aluminum sheet isn’t thick enough, layer it with a PP sheet; if it doesn’t have enough gloss, add a film layer—adjust it to suit your ideal finish.

If you care about the typography, it’s also recommended to use letters you handwrite onto sticker paper.

It could work not only as a nameplate but also as a door plate to indicate room functions.

[100-yen shop] Tile House Number Plate

How to make an original mosaic tile nameplate you can enjoy DIY-ing even without a trimmer : )

It’s a striking nameplate featuring colorful tiles and letter tiles arranged to create a lively, three-dimensional look.

For the base, use a piece of wood with a shallow recess just deep enough to fit the tiles, and adhere the tiles there.

First, cut out the center of a tile sheet where you want to place the letters and attach that sheet to the base; then fill the open space with alphabet tiles.

Next, pour white cement over the entire surface, wipe it back so the tiles are visible, and once the cement sets, it’s complete.

The height of the white cement—so the tiles appear more three-dimensional—may be a key detail to pay attention to.

Nameplate made with wood burning

Make a nameplate with wood burning [DIY]

This is a distinctive nameplate whose charm lies in its unique tones, created by burning letters onto a wooden board.

First, draw a draft design on the wood, then slowly apply high heat in line with that design.

It’s best to use a tool with adjustable temperature, and as you work, be mindful of how differences in temperature and contact affect the burn.

The choice of board, the designs placed around the lettering, and the way you burn the wood all matter—aim for a natural finish that makes the most of the wood’s texture.

Resin nameplate

[Resin] Original Doorplate/Nameplate

A nameplate made by combining parts created with resin—its unique gloss and design freedom are really appealing.

Prepare the resin colors in advance, pour them into the alphabet molds, cure them, and then remove the letters.

Next, pour resin into a base mold to create the foundation, arrange the letters, and coat the entire surface.

Once that cures, it’s complete.

Beyond choosing resin colors for each part, consider ways to make it look even more striking—such as adding glitter or arranging separately made motifs.

[100-Yen Shop] Nameplate Made with a Photo Frame

Making a nameplate with a 100-yen photo frame: the creation process

This nameplate uses a photo frame as its base and layers a design on top for a stylish finish.

For the layered design on the photo frame, use cutting stickers and be mindful of the sheet material you choose.

Once the overall design is complete, attach the name elements next.

Balancing them with the design is a key point.

If you apply the design to the back of the photo frame and the name to the front, the name will gain a three-dimensional look—this method is also recommended.

Nameplate Made with Stencil Sheets from the 100-Yen Shop

[100 Yen Paint] Making a Nameplate with Seria Stencil Sheets [DIY]

Letters are painted on a wooden board to make a nameplate, and the natural wood texture gives it a warm look.

All you need is the wooden base and a stencil sheet; then you paint the overall color and add the lettering.

After painting the entire surface of the wood, place the stencil sheet on top and paint over it to create the letters.

Choosing colors that make the text stand out and layering paint to add depth can be effective.

To keep the angles and placement of the letters consistent, it’s a good idea to add subtle guide marks as you work.

[100-yen shop] Brass-style plate

#08 [Using That Thing You Can Even Buy at the 100-Yen Shop] How to Make a Brass-Style Plate with Stylish Puffy 3D Letters | ANALOG STUDIO

This nameplate features a metallic sheen and an appealing three-dimensional effect with letters that appear to float.

The materials used are a wooden tray and alphabet stickers; by layering paints on top, it’s finished to look like metal.

Another key point is the use of various paints—the subtle show-through of the lower layers creates a patina-like, rusty metal feel.

Deciding the order in which to layer the paints and how many layers to apply is crucial to making it look more convincingly metallic.
